Synopsis

All-consuming fame and fortune prove too much for a teen popstar who suddenly goes missing-Eddie and the Cruisers for the Justin Bieber era. Just eight months ago, fifteen-year-old Roxanne Stewart was stuck in her tiny, middle-of-nowhere hometown with no prospects of leaving. But after her boyfriend, Joshua Blackbird, posts a performance of an original song on YouTube, he becomes an overnight sensation, catapulting to the dizzying heights of celebrity, and Rox joins him on the whirlwind ride of a massive national tour. But it's not long before the never-blinking eye of fame begins weighing them both down-the constant hunger of managers, diehard fans who call themselves "Birdies," record execs, paparazzi, and even family, all leeching onto Joshua. Then one day, Joshua Blackbird disappears. Was it a suicide? An accident? Rox will stop at nothing to find out the truth. The Falling Between Us is a haunting love story and a piercing look at the costs of fame.

This definitely had those Eddie and the Cruisers vibe, but it was about so much more. It was about watching someone you love fade before your eyes and feeling helpless.

Goodreads review by Alexis on March 09, 2018

Ahhh. The cover copy doesn't really do this justice. I was definitely dismayed at the very millennial, pop-culture story-line, but it surprises you, and it hits you harder than you think. This a story relevant to and needed in this glamoured society of Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube phenomenons. Th......more

It's been a wild ride for Joshua Blackbird and his girlfriend, Roxanne Stewart. After posting his original song on YouTube, the musician was snapped up by the music machine and became wildly famous, setting off on a nation-wide tour and leaving his small town home of Marchant, Georgia, far behind.
